Hi fizA,

As to your first question, you don't include your 3rd-5th year wards in your clinical clerkship. As far as I know and understand, it means those clerkships you did outside of your medical college (like electives I guess). You're doing your housejob after graduation? In that case, clerkship does not apply to you since you're already a graduate.

For your second question, I think your date of graduation would be August 2011, since that's what's written on your diploma. Your time in med school is obviously 5 years, again, as written on your diploma.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
